Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What are the symptoms of Melanoma?
### Response: Usually, the first sign of melanoma is a change in the size, shape, color, or feel of a mole. The ABCD rule can help you tell whether the mole is normal or not. Moles that have any of these signs should be checked by your doctor:
A symmetry: When one half of the mole does not match the other half.
B order irregularity: The edges of the mole look ragged, blurred, or notched.
C olor: The color over the mole is not the same and may have shades of tan, brown, or black, and sometimes patches of pink, red, blue, or white.
D iameter: The mole is larger than about 1/4 inch, although sometimes melanomas can be smaller.
E volution over time: The mole is growing or changing in shape or color.
Some melanomas do not fit the above mentioned "rules" and may be hard to tell if the mole is normal or not. Only a doctor can tell for sure. A person with any of these symptoms should seek medical care as early as possible.
